Wt bare neglected publishing the proceedings of the Indiana Legislature, and the reason of this neglect, is, that they are of no interest to the people of the State. The Republican element in the Senate have defeated almost every bill which would prove of benefit to the masecr, and have passed the time in making speeches about the negro race, guarding their interest with a jealousy, which could be no stronger, if they were sent to represent us from Ethiopia. This is the second session of the Legislature that has met and adjourned without doing the legislate - have is to submit the question fairly before the people, whether we shall have a working Legislature in J 808. Will they sanction the unconstitutional and outrageous conduct of the Republican members? We have no fear as to the result. Black republicanism has had its day in Indiana. Its career was short, but long enough to do much harm. Years will come and roll on in harmony, tinder the beneticienl rays of democratic reign, •nd will bring to our mind the doings of these men, whose actions will then be classed with those of the Hartford Convention, and stamped with like infamy. THE NEW CABINET. At length the great agony is over, and every body is relieved from the arduous labor of making Cabinets for James Buchanan. H« has, in his own good time, quietly attended to this important duty for himself. With what wisdom and judgment his political household has been selected, will be seen from the following appointments, which were confirmed bv the Senate on the 6th: Secretary of State.—Lewis Cass, of Michigan. Secretary of War.—John B. Floyd, of Virginia. Secretary of the Navy.—lsaac Tcucy, of Connecticut. Secretary of the Interior.-Jecob Thompson, of Mississippi. Postmaster General.—A. V. Brown, of Tennessee. Attorney General.—Jeremiah S Black of Pennsylvania. An abler, purer, or more conservative Cabinet has never been formed since the organization of the Government. Head ed by tire Statesman and sage of Michigan, whose experience and wisdom is surpassed by no living man. And all the other depai iments filled from the very ableat and most distinguished men of the country —it cannot but be successful beyond precedent. Four of these Secretaries are from the South, while the other three, with the President, are from the North. We predict for the present Cabinet a career as brilliant and a* beneficial to the country as that of any that ever preceded it. Rkorgaxization of the Democratic FA»rr.—The leading substantial members of the Democratic partv of New York have determined upon a thorough reform of the Democratic party, and a pmging of it, from detnagogism and rowdyism. In the city, they have decided to canvass the city, ward by ward, and enroll the names of all “good men and true,” who desire a thorough purification of the party, and who mean to support the in-cornin'' Administration on high, national principles. Such an organization will enlist the sympathies of thousands who have not hitherto acted with the Democratic party. true is the following choice paragraph from the pen of Daniel Web- 1 •lei; “If we work upon marble it will perish; if we work upon brass, time will efface it; if we rear temples, they will crumble to the dust. But if we work upon immortal minds, if we imbibe them with high principles, with the just fear of God, and of their fellow-men, we en-’rave on those tablets something which no time 1 can efface, but which will brighten to all eternity. mis well remarked, that the extraordinary demonstrations of respect which attended the journey of Mr. Buchanan from Lis rural home to the national metropolis, were evidences of the hold 1 which he has upon the hearts of the peoy’e.

A Singular Mistake. The Legislature of Illinois adjourned on the 19th, without day. An apportionment bill for the representative and senatorial districts in the state, which had caused a high degree of party excitement was passed in spite of the strenuous oppoiilion of the Republicans, who, after their defeat, relied with confidence on Gov. Bissell to arrest it by his veto. But to . their chagrin, it came back next day with the Governor’s approval, which fact was recorded up ; the journal of the House. An hour after, a letter was received from , hi« excellency, saying he had signed the (. bill bv mistake, and withdrawing Lis ap--1 proval. The law had gone through all its forms, and could not be nullified, it I was effectually a statute of the S.»te. Notwithstanding, the Governor sent in a . formal message the next day, vetowing ,-r the bill was such a one as he did in bis . conscience approve and felt bound to sign, 1 and was afterward* driven by the elamer i of his political friends to retract bis sanc--1 tion; or was the signature in truth an over- - sight, are questions which each one ans- > wens according to his political prejudices. 1 There can, however, be no question as to the validity of the law; the mistake is s ( an incurrable one. Reform in the Hight Place. ’ The editor of the New York Tribune, ; who stands charged by the proof taken " before the select committee on Congressional corruption with having received a thousand dollars to be used in procuring the passage of a law by Congress, makes 1 the following remarks upon the Lentous- . ncss of the crime of congressional corruption: “Congressional corruption is a crime of ’ sucii monstrous magnitude that it ought ' to be judged in a spirit of unyielding firm i ness. If it cannot be kept under, frown j ed out of sight, and the indelible stigma of infamy attached to it, we had better > cal! on the rocks and mountains to bury , the Capitol, and pray for the ocean to engulf the nation. If thus early in our f career, if in the first century of our national existence, public corruption in our f national legislation be tolerated, in any degree, what may we not expe't' ercafter with the natural and inevitable approach of a more extravagant, luxurious and prodigal experience.” A Genius ix th® U. S, Senate.—Gen. i Cass is to be succeeded in the United States Senate by a Republican, very illy qualified for his possition. Tiie Detiiot Free Press relates the following anecdote of him: “During the campaign, Mr. Zacltariah Chandler, U. S. Senator elect, improved himself in stump speaking by taking lessons of a recently graduated youth of the University, named Dexter. On one occasion Dexter hid taught him to recite an extract from Burke, which was intended to be brought in with great ivree and tremendous applause. Having heard Lina rec-.ta, just before time for public speaking, Dexter went down to hear and see ‘Zachariah clime the tree.’ He did it well; the passage from Burke was finished, and drew down the plaudits of | the multitude. But, in order to give it still more force, Chandler remarked, in his must impressive manner: “Such—such, fellow citizens, was the language of the immortal Burke, in the Senate of the United States!'* JrgT’On las Thanksgiving day, the Rev. Mr. Bellow—Unitarian—delivered an addre.-s at Lis church in Fourth avenue, New lork city, upon public amusements, taking the ground that the drama in proper hands was a valuable aid to the pulpit and press in enlightening, cultivating and refining the people. He also took strong ground in favor of the opera. Some of the managers anil leading artists of the city have since tendered to the reverend ' gentleman a piece of plate ns a mark of their recognition of his liberal views. He j has written a letter declining the teslimo- j nial, and expressing a desire to address the theatrical profession especially. Arrangements are now being made for the { delivery of the discourse. Scarlet Fever axo Small Pox —Dr. William Fields of Wilmington. Delaware, . gives publicity to the following receipe, which he says, if faithfully carried ..-.1. will cure forty-five cases out of fifty, without calling on a physician: ■'■cablet Fever.—For adults, give one tablespoonful of good brewer’s yeast, in three tablespoonfuls of sweetened water, three limes a day; and if the throat is much swollen, gurgle with yeast and ap p|y yeast to the throat as a poultice, mixed with Indian meal. Use plenty of catnip tea, to keep the eruption out o, ffic skin for several days. Small Pox.—Us< the above doses of yeast three Limes a day, and a milk diet throughout the enitre disease. N’earlv every case can be cured, without leaving »yuUimark. j

Decision of the Supreme Court in the Dred Scott Case. Washington, March 6. The decision of the Supreme Court in the Dred Scott Case was delivered to-day by Chief Justice Taney. It was full and elaborate statement of the Court. They have decided the following allimportant points: 1. That negroes, whether slaves or free, (that is, men of the African race.) are 1 not citizens of the United Stateshy the Constitution. 2. Th At the Ordinance of 1787 had no 'independent cunst.tuion, force or legal effect subsequently to the adoption of the Constitution, and could not operate of it- ■ self to confer freedom or citizenship, witl- ., in the North-western Territories, upai , not citizens by the Constitution. 3. That the provision of the act of 1 820, commonly called the Missouri Compn- ■ mise, is so far as it undertook to seclule t ne<’ro slavery from, and communicate r freedom and "citizenship to negroes in the northren part of .La lll 'I,”'*’ 1 ,”'*’ w “ b a le*' 4 ’ . .... „ out exceeding the power of C«n- --’ gress, and, eonsequv».y ~i n.j • legal effect to that end in deciding these r main points. The Supreme Court has delirmtned the following incidental points. 1. That the expression "Territiry and ■ other property ’ of the Union, in he Con- . stitution applies in terms only to such s territory as the Union possessor at the time of the adoption of the Contitmion. ■ * I 2. That the rights of citizet of the 1 United States, emigrating to any Federal : Territory, depend on the genera provisions of the Constitution, which lefines in ’ this, as in all other respects, thepower of 1 , Congress 2. As Congress does not possas power Jin itself to make enactments nlaliveto persons or property of ettizats of the ’ United States in the Federal Ttrriury. ’ other than such as the Constitution run ■ fer», so it cannot constitutionally delegate ant such powers to a Territorial Govanraent, organized bv it under the Consitu- . f tion. 4. That the legal condition ota save in the State of Missouri is not afhctec by a temporary sojourn of such sh»vi in any other State, but on liis return hi condition still depends upon the law»if Missouri. As the plaintiff was r.ota citizen of Missouri, and therefore could not smin ti c Courtsof the United Sties, the j suits must be dissmissed for wan of juris- I : diction. The d livery of this opinion occupied about three hours. It was litened to with profound attention by a crowded court-room. Among the auditors were maty gentle- ; men of eminent legal ability aid a due proportion o( ladle*. Justice Nelson stated ti e meats o r the case. The question being whether or not the removal of Scott from Missouri with his master to Illinois, with a view o a temporary residence, worked his tsiarcipation. He mantained that the question depended solely on the laws of Missouri, uid for that reason the judgment <f the I Conrt should be affirmed. Justice Catron believed that the Supreme Court has jurisdiction to decide ! the merits of the case. He argued that Congresscould not do directly what it could not do indirectly. If it could exclude species of property, it could anotlvr.— With regard to Territories. he cede! that Congress could govern them only with the restrictions of the States which ceded I them; and as the Missouri act of 1829 violated the leading features <4 the Con-1 stitution, it was therefore void. Ht con-' curred with his brother judges that Scott is a slave, and was so when suit was brought. Several other jndges are to deliver their views to morrow. Additional by the America. New York, March 13—Pwis letters state that the Council of State has reject-: ed the credit of five million frates domain-1 ded by the War Department d Spain — It is stated in the ministerial organ that the number of vessels which an to be sent against Mexico, including traisports fur 10,000 men, is about thirty. A Bienna letter says that aMinisterial | Council are deliberating upon the t-xpe-' I diency of withdrawing the Austrian troops from the Papal dominions. Telegraphic dates from Hong Keng to i January £sth, have been received. Affairs in China are unchanged. Private letters state that a large Chinese fleet had attacted the English squadron, but ■ subsequently retiring in good order un- ' der the forts of Canton. Admiral Seymour had burned a greater part if the ‘ suburbs of Canton. The Chinese Rebel fleet, had fomed a (junction with the Imperialists at Wham I poa.

HORRIBLE railroad accident. Over Seventy Persons Killed! ‘ A LARGE NUMBER WOUNDED. 1 Toronto. March 13.—A dreadful accident occured on the Great W estern Railroad ves terday. I The train which left Toronto yesterday afternoon lor Hamilton ran off the ' bridge above Hamilton. J The locomotive and baggage-cap passed ( over the bridge in safety, put the two rear j ! cars, containing one hundred and twenty ' passengers, fell through. 1 Between sixty and eighty persons are supposed to be killed on the spot. Among ' the killed are Samuel Zimmerman, bank- ' 'er attd contraeter, and Mr. Street, a millionaire, of Niagara Falls, together with his sister and mother.in-law. Manv podies have not yet been fatten ' from the water, and the names of but a few have been ascertained. The passengers who escaped death, artmore or less mangled, most of whom are injur. J bevond recowry. I’l'y-icians i ..ere leaving Tornni.. IlamtKvu, tut the scene o* accident The bridge was partially broken down and the cars are one on top of the other. They fell a distance of fifty feet. The excitement caused by this terrible catastrophe is beyond precedent. Parliament adjourned the moment the acvide nt was known. Nothing has heretofore occurred in this vicinity that has created such profound grief. Later. The disaster ot yesterday occurred to the local accommodation tra n from this city, bound to Hamilton, and contained i from seventy-five to one hundred passengers. Only fifteen were taken alive from the wreck, and of these five h.’.'e since died. The engineer and firemna were pitched headlong into the caual. ' The baggage car and the two passenger cars that we.lt through the bridge, are complete wrecks. A large number of men were engaged to-day in extricating the dead from tiie wreck. Fifty dead bodies, including men women and children, are laid out on the floor of an out-house in the vieint.y, many :, of whom have been identified. ( Nineteen other bodies lie in ore of the company's buddings only three of which hat e been identified. The passengers all belonged to this city, H imiltun, and other towns, and include many prominent and influential citizens. The yfiKEscoTA Enabling Bill —The western bour.dries of the new State of I Minnesota, as prescribed by the bill which : has just passed the Senate, are the Big Sioux and the Red Rivers, which device the present territory into two nearly equal parts. Il is stated that the new slate : will contiin nearly seventy thousand ' square miles, leaving on the western side of the boundary line some nine thousand ■ square miles, which is to constitute the Territory of Dacotah. The bill passed provides that the people shall meet in convention at the Territorial Capital on j the second Monday of July next, to form ■ : a State Constitution; it also provides that | 11. census shall be taken in order to ascer- 1 tain the number of representatives to ! which the new State sl-.all be entitled; ; also that the state shall be entitled to one j ■ representative on admission into the Union and such other representatives as the population of the state shall, according to the census show it would be entitled to, according to the prudent ratio of repre- , sentation. Governor Gorman, in his last (anual message says, ‘from sources deemed ■ reliable, I am able to state the population lot the territory at about 180,000 souls. : The taxable property in the territory | amounts to between thiry and thirty-five millions of dollars. Even should the most speedy organization be made our I population must run up to 259,000, and ■ our taxable property reach fifty or sixty millions of dollars, at least, before Congress will admit us into the Union.’ It will be seen therefore, that Minnesota will be a considerable state (rum the very I day of admission into the Union. The Dutchman And The Goat.—A good one occurred in Zanesville some time ago, w hen a Mr. Porter was landlord of the ‘Eagle,’ anil ‘Dutch Pete’ did the ‘clean tiling,’ or honors of the stable.— I Pete and the horses has a large, as well as a very goat, fur a companion and a disinfectant. At the time of our, fun, the stable was occupied by a drove of mules- To the great annoyance of Pete, ‘Billy’ (the goat) was sometiues in the habit ot taking up his quarters in the haymow, which he reached by a pair of stairs. Mine host of the Eagle, and the usual crowd in the bar-room, were one dav startled by Pete rushing in with bis ‘Dir ■ up’ and almost breathless, exclaiming a; the top of his voice; 'Meestir Boner!

Rascali»y Abounding. Under this caption Parson Brownlow, of the Knoxville, Whig, launches forth a terrible philippic against all the world and the rest of mankind. Hear him: •The Gospel is preached to the people regularly, all over our country —religion's papers and magazines are circulated tn families, and many valuable persons set good examples before the world; but notwithstanding all this, and more, obsci vai tion teaches us that rascality abounds in all classes of„society. Petty thefts are daily committed —such as robbing money drawers, stealing clothes and dry goods, chickens, ducks, corn anil other eatables. Strolling vagabonds, dealing in counterfeit money, and diseased horses, are ail over the country. Gambleis, traveling and local, and resident rogues, are on the alert. Pious villains, with faces as sanctified a« the moral law. are beeping false accounts, and sweating to them for the sake of gain. Whiskey shops are selling by the small, in violation of the law.— Drug stores are training up drunkards u to<yh liG and affording facility for Sabbath tir inking, —.Rial, „ .n b. I. ~l nnwlrere else. The rich are oppressing the poor, | and the poor are content to live in rags and idleness. Country dealers in pro- ! duce come to town and exact two prices • for all they have to sell, and owners of! | real estate in town are asking double; (rents tu the injury of the business and; ( the growth of towns. Banks and corporations. intended for the public good,have ' j their favorites, and are partial in the distribution of favor. Familiespersecute land envy each other. Individuals slandir their betters. Persons of low origin i put on airs, and falsly pretend to be more (than they are. Cheating and misrepre-; sentation are (he order of the day generally. In politics there is very little patriotism or love of country, while demagogues seek to mislead and build up their own fortunes at the hazard of ruining the ; co'intry. In religion there is more hyp- ( ocrisv than grace, and the biggest scoundrels living crowd into the church, with a view to hide their rascally designs, and more effectual to serve the Devil! Ina word, rascality abounds among all classes, and in all countries. The Devil is stalking abroad in open dayligh*, without the precaution to undress himSolt! and if the present generation of men could see themselves in the Gospel Glass, they are as black as hell!’ — )>t —» • A I’rightful Ride At Frank ville, in this county the Baltimore and Ohio railroad pases along the side of a preciptous mountain. At the base, Crabtree creek, a wild mountain stream runs foaming along over its rocky bed. From the railroad to the creek, a I distance of of abont seventy-five yards, there is a steep precipice rising tip al an angle of about forty-five degrees. On Monday night one oi the locomotives attached to a burden (rain, just as it reached this point broke a flange and detaching itself from the train randiwn this precipice, carry ing with it the engineer and fireman. Neither of them were able to get from lhe locomotive until it reached the creek, where it now stand, fair and square upon the wheels without being materially injured. But what is most ; singula:. neither lite engineer or fireman ‘ received the slightest harm. They scatce|ly bad time to think before they were | landed in the rocky bottom of the creek. The locomotive is at least seventy-five : yards from the railroad and to get it back upon the road again, it will require the const! uction of a temporary track.— Cumberland Telegraph.

We are most happy to greet bis return to Washington in his present capacity.

XI — II , The Inaugural.—The National Inteligencer notices Mr. Buchanan’s Inaugural' Address as follows: , ‘We are free to confess that the perusal : of the address has given us satisfaction, so entirely unexceptionable does it appear to be tn thought or expression. Indeed I we may say that arike tn matter and in manner, it reminds us of those sterling aitiibutes of good judgment and common sense which chrracterized the State papers of I i< side nt Munroe; end we can only hope that at the close of Mr. Buchanan’s administration, the comparison thus suggested may extend not only to well tempered sentiment and unbounded diction of thes two statesmen but also to that lestoratHn of good feeling which marked theera of the earlier President, and which we fam hope will be the conscientious aitn of his teterai: successor.’ Monster Tree —Tnere is said to be ar. oak tree near Raleigh, N.
